Alex's Camp Recount

Glentui Camp

On Tuesday I arrived at school and packed my gear into the car. It seemed like forever before everyone got to school before we could take off to camp Glentui. We stopped for Burger King on the way to camp. We arrived at ten o’clock and moved what seemed like the heaviest bags at camp to our cabin with Tim then we were told we were upstairs in Cabin Ten without the zero. It was eleven o’clock when the first rotation started. We were told to meet in the common room to be sorted into our groups for the rotations.

I was in group two. We were doing indoor initiative games. I learnt some new and interesting games like horse-shoes. The next rotation was abseiling. Abseiling took forever to finish when it finally finished we could go back to camp.

When I finally got back to camp there were people swimming in the pool. I went up to my cabin. The day’s activities were over. That evening we had pasta and mince. I’m not such a fan of pasta mince. After dinner we went to bed and half the cabin was talking. I was very grateful when they stopped.

The next day I woke up to the sound of talking. We all stayed in our sleeping bags talking to each other. Soon we were to eat breakfast in the hall.

Today’s activities were River Study and outdoor cooking. I’m going to like today’s activities. We lined up in our groups in the common room and made our way down the steps to the river. We were sorted into groups and were given 2 nets, 2 spoons and 2 trays. Our tray was divided into sections. We also tested the water.

I thought camp was really fun and I would like to go again some time!
